Since the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, rumors have spread online regarding the possibility that the Guthrie family itself may be behind the kidnapping.

Users on X have claimed without evidence that the sister of Savannah Guthrie, Annie Guthrie, and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, may have been behind Nancy’s abduction.

The rumors came after it was reported that Tommaso Cioni dropped Nancy off at her home the night she went missing.

Now, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office has finally addressed those rumors.

In a press release, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office has cleared all members of the Guthrie family in the abduction of Nancy.

Fox 11 was the first to report on the Pima County Sheriff’s Office clearing Nancy Guthrie’s family:

Family members of Nancy Guthrie, including her children and their spouses, have been ruled out as suspects in her disappearance, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said Monday.

“To be clear…the Guthrie family – to include all siblings and spouses – has been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said on Feb. 16.

The sheriff goes on to say the family members are victims.

“To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple…please, I’m begging you the media to honor your profession and report with some sense of compassion and professionalism,” Sheriff Nanos said.

Guthrie, 84, was last seen on Jan. 31 at her Catalina Foothills Tucson-area home. She didn’t arrive for church the next day and that’s when the authorities were notified.

Since then, blood droplets were found on her front porch where her Nest camera captured surveillance footage of a masked suspect. At one point, the suspect tried to cover up the lense with leaves.

Here’s the press release:
